My TV told me Kamala Harris good Orange Man Bad therefore it must be true

Democrats have two extremely unfair advantage when it comes to every election. The first advantage is produced by mainstream news outlets.  It is painfully obvious to any rational human being that the media is made up of sycophants and cheerleaders for the political left.

In every election cycle, it is abundantly easier for Democrats to appear to have “momentum” when the media prattle on about their supposed momentum. It is easier to declare Democratic campaigns are “flawless” when the media steamroll over any flaw that emerges. It is easier to look “really smart” when journalists tell everyone you’re smart, and if voters don’t understand you have a stunning intellect, then you’re “misunderstood.”

The media act like the wind beneath Kamala’s wings, and then they praise her flying skills.

Her weaknesses are buried as Donald Trump’s strengths are attacked. She fails to empathize with Gold Star parents whose children were killed in Afghanistan, and the media attack Trump for having the chutzpah to show up at Arlington National Cemetery at their invitation. The only scandals that aren’t fake news are the Republican scandals.

 Just about half the population get all of their news from sources that are extremely biased. They only get half the story and what they do get is extremely distorted. 

These same Americans lack the ability to question what they hear coming from their TVs and read in their newspapers.  They seek out only sources online that conform to their progressive beliefs system, and they attack anyone who dares to disagree with them.  That is because the American educational system was replaces with a Marxist brainwashing conglomeration decades ago.  Here are three quotes by the great Thomas Sowell which illustrate just how dysfunctional our educational system truly is.

The problem isn’t that Johnny can’t read. The problem isn’t even that Johnny can’t think. The problem is that Johnny doesn’t know what thinking is; he confuses it with feeling.

Our whole educational system, from the elementary schools to the universities, is increasingly turning out people who have never heard enough conflicting arguments to develop the skills and discipline required to produce a coherent analysis, based on logic and evidence. The implications of having so many people so incapable of confronting opposing arguments with anything besides ad hominem responses reach far.

Whether blatant or subtle, brainwashing has become a major, time-consuming activity in American education at all levels. Some zealots have not hesitated to use the traditional brain-washing technique of emotional trauma in the classroom to soften up children for their message. Gruesome and graphic movies on nuclear war, for example, have reduced some school children to tears—after which the teacher makes a pitch for whatever movement claims to reduce such dangers. Another technique is the ambush shock: A seventh-grade teacher in Manhattan, for example, innocently asked her students to discuss their future plans—after which she said: “Haven’t any of you realized that in this world with nuclear weapons no one in this class will be alive in the year 2000?”75 These

We must destroy the Left’s stranglehold on education

For the past several decades Progressives have maintained almost complete control over the entire educational system of the United States. The evidence of that is everywhere.   Would Kamala Harris be remotely competitive in this presidential election if half the electorate was not utterly indoctrinated?  This election would be a landslide for Trump.

If the founding principles of the United States and civics were still taught in school would the American people have complied so meekly with all of the COVID tyranny that swept across this nation four years ago.  Hell no. 

The American people would not put up with having nearly half of the income confiscated by the government every year.  The Boston Tea Party is proof of this.

If the Left did not have a stranglehold on our educational system half of the population would not by stymied by basic scientific truths such as the fact that males and females are different.  Half of the American people would not be ready to lynch you for declaring that man-made climate change is a fraud.

Freedom of speech would not be controversial at all if half the population was not brainwashed.  Facebook and the rest of the social media outlets would not be able to censor their users at all.

The mainstream media would have very few viewers for their propaganda filled broadcasts if these viewers were not first thoroughly indoctrinated.

The political left began their takeover of the American educational system back in the sixties.  Their opening move was quite brilliant.   They infected teacher colleges.  The graduates spread their contagion to the college level.  Over the past decade even grade schools became cesspools of Marxist indoctrination.

Several years ago parents began speaking out at school board meeting against the brainwashing of their children.  This was so successful the justice department under Joe Biden took action.  If more parents spoke out, that would be a good start.

Cutting off the flow of money from the federal government to colleges would be a big help, along with abolishing the Department of Education.  The unholy alliance between teacher unions and the Democrat Party also needs to come to an end.

There is so much more that needs to be done and little time left if we want to salvage our Constitutional Republic.

There is only one weapon that is effective against liberals

Have you ever had the misfortune of debating liberals on social media?  I have far too often.  I never intended to, not once.  It was simply the unfortunate consequence of my continuous bad habit of posting stuff on social media that contradicts established progressive orthodoxy.

There is nothing that provokes a leftist more fanatically than encountering a social media post that they do not agree with.  They immediately engage in a holy war against that post.  The main objectives of their crusade against speech they disagree with is to bully the offenders into silence.

When provoked by ideas they disagree with liberals engage in the ugliest and most mean spirited personal attacks against those that dare voice them.  The absolute worst thing you can do if you find yourself troubled online by rabid leftists is show anger.  That is what they crave the most.  They are like puppies starved for attention. Deny them your anger.  Always maintain the moral high ground.

Combating a liberal’s usual diatribe with facts and logic is just as useless as shooting a werewolf with traditional lead projectiles.   They are completely immune to those weapons because they have been indoctrinated for decades by our abysmal educational system.  They have been brainwashed into believing that reality is subjective, all that matters to them is what they believe and what they feel.

The only truly effective weapon to use against liberals is ridicule.  One common side effect of progressive indoctrination is the erasure of their sense of humor.  The brainwashing hypersensitized the part of the brain that leads to the sense of being offended.  .

Facts and logic dressed up with non-mean spirited and humorous ridicule is the deadliest weapon you can use when engaging in verbal combat with liberals.

This week College students across the United States proved just how brainwashed they are

For the past several decades college campuses have been centers of progressive indoctrination rather than centers of higher learning.  Over the past several years this has escalated to all out brainwashing.  Just how brainwashed college students are became obvious in the wake of the horrendous attack by Hamas terrorists on Israel.  Almost immediately after the cowardly attack began, demonstrations erupted on college campuses in support of the Hamas terrorists: College Students Blame Israel For Hamas Terror Attack (thefederalist.com)

Over 30 Harvard student organizations made a joint statement the day of the assault, writing that Israel is “entirely responsible” for the “unfolding violence.”

Columbia University students from the groups Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace asserted that “the weight of responsibility for the war and casualties undeniably lies with the Israeli extremist government and other Western governments.” Likewise, Students for Justice in Palestine at Northwestern University affirmed in the aftermath of the attack that they “stand unwavering in our commitment to highlighting the profound injustices faced by the Palestinian people.”

A cursory examination of statements released during these demonstrations prove how extensive this brainwashing is.

All the statements used left-wing, anti-colonial language. Harvard  students described Israel as an “apartheid regime” that forced Palestinians into “colonial retaliation.” Columbia students characterized the Israelis as “extremist … colonial-settlers.” Northwestern University students stated that it is a “grievous miscarriage of justice to portray Palestinians as the aggressors in this occupation” and that it is “morally untenable to portray Israel as the victim.”

“From Algeria to Ireland, from South Africa to Vietnam, from East Timur to Tibet, and from Native American to Black American civil rights struggles, the human desire for autonomy and dignity has historically remained powerful and unwavering,” wrote the Northwestern students. “The Palestinian narrative and efforts are woven from this same fabric of endurance and determination.”

There is nothing wrong and much right about universities encouraging discussion about the history of the Middle East, the fraught politics of the region, the rights and wrongs of Israeli and Arab policies, and dissent from US policies. Academic halls and the streets of America are supposed to be realms of free speech and vigorous disagreement. As long as the vigorous debate remains peaceful and rational it should be encouraged. It’s not like anyone is above criticism.

But that is not what we are witnessing. Instead, we see the constant celebration of brutality. The murder and rape of countless civilians. The kidnapping of innocents, and the justification of evil in the name of “anti-colonialism.” If this is what anticolonialism looks like–gang rapes and kidnappings–I guess I prefer colonialism and you should too.

Our major universities, though, have become breeding grounds for an ideology that celebrates this brutality, both here and abroad. Hatred of the West has become their “brand.” Wokism is yet another, even more ideologically radical version of Marxism that exceeds the evils promoted by Marx and Engels themselves. It aims to eradicate and not in any way build upon what has been built in the West over the centuries. Marx thought he could supplant it through revolution; today’s woke just want to completely destroy it.
